I was out driving early on Saturday morning, at like 5:45, and especially because it was a weekend, there was almost no one on the road. Right before I got to the donut shop I saw a guy just blow through a red light, didn't slow down or even doing a rolling stop. I was still about 300 yards away from him, and he could probably see there was no one close to him in any direction, but still. Do you guys run red lights when no one's around?
I've gone through red lights late at night in the middle of nowhere, but only because they were taking forever to change, and I was just watching the empty world as I sat there. I can't imagine any circumstance where I would drive through a light without stopping.
yeah you gotta stop and look first

Since I have moved to the current neighborhood i have come close to being hit twice. Both times people going right through stop signs. Once was in the neighborhood and one was exiting the neighborhood. these fools both just gave a friendly wave. there are countless times when i am walking my dog that people just go right through the stop signs at 6-630 in the evening. there are plenty of small kids in the area riding their scooters/bikes and it is just a matter of time before something really bad happens

Sometimes when I'm on the dirt bike I won't set off the detector and it won't change, so I have to run it when I get a chance.

There was a four way stop at the south end of our block in Chicago that people would blow through at an irregular rate. I was always amazed more pedestrians weren’t clipped.
